    The song lyrics describe a traveler who stops for the night at the ominous Hotel California after seeing lights in the distance on a desert highway. Upon entering, the traveler encounters strange voices and surreal scenes. People have gathered for a feast and seem unable to escape, as the nightman ominously says "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." The song paints a mysterious and unsettling picture of the eerie Hotel California through its lyrics and music.

    Lyrics and chords: Wake you up in the middle of the night

    F#
    [Verse 1] Just to hear them say…

    Bm F# [Chorus]
    On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
    AE GD
    Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air Welcome to the Hotel California
    GD F#7 Bm
    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place), Such a lovely
    Em face
    My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim GD
    F# They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
    I had to stop for the night Em F#
    What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), Bring
    Bm F# your alibis
    There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission
    bell [Verse 3]
    AE
    And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or Bm F#
    this could be hell Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice
    GD AE
    Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way And she said ‘We are all just prisoners here, of our
    Em F# own device’
    There were voices down the corridor, I thought I GD
    heard them say And in the master’s chambers, They gathered for
    the feast
    [Chorus] Em
    They stab it with their steely knives,
    GD F#
    Welcome to the Hotel California. But they just can’t kill the beast
    F#7 Bm
    Such a lovely place, such a lovely face Bm F#
    GD Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
    Plenty of room at the Hotel California AE
    Em F# I had to find the passage back to the place I was
    Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it before
    here GD
    ‘Relax,’ said the night man, ‘We are programmed to
    [Verse 2] receive.
    Em
    You can check-out any time you like,
    Bm F#
    F#
    Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes
    But you can never leave!
    bends
    AE
    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
    GD
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer
    sweat.
    Em F#
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

    Bm F#
    So I called up the Captain, ‘Please bring me my wine’
    AE
    He said, ‘We haven’t had that spirit here since
    nineteen sixty nine’
    GD
    And still those voices are calling from far away,
    Em
